History and Description of the Remains 

Beginning in 1958, human remains 

representing, at minimum, eight 

individuals were removed from the Gros 

Cap Archaeological District, Mackinac 

County, MI. Sites and localities within 

the District from which human remains 

were removed include the Gros Cap Site 

(20MK6), the Camp Fire Site (20MK7), 

and the vicinity ‘‘south of the Ryerse 

Beach Cottage.’’ These human remains, 

together with associated funerary 

objects, were acquired by Orlando ‘‘Orr’’ 

Melvin Greenlees and Eva Genevieve 

Gillmore Greenlees. On at least one 

occasion, the Greenlees also acquired 

Native American cultural items from 

other people, including a Mr. Bicknell. 

Mr. and Mrs. Greenlees owned the 

property adjacent to the post-contact era 

Gros Cap Cemetery and served as its 

caretakers. The Cemetery is also located 

within the Gros Cap Archaeological 

District. In 1970, Alicia Mackin 

acquired the Greenlees’ collection, and 

on April 12, 1976, Ms. Mackin donated 

it to Michigan State University Museum.
